The state of Oklahoma is suing several meat-packing giants, including Tyson and Cargill, for dumping untreated manure into the Illinois River Watershed.
A company lawyer assured the court that Tyson's chicken shit posed no problems for Oklahoma, because "There is nothing more going on in this watershed that's different than the rest of the state [of Arkansas, where they are based]." In Prairie Grove, Ark., citizens are suing poultry owners for elevating local cancer rates to 50 times the national average. The European Union banned arsenicals from poultry production in 1988.
